Te Rā ANZAC: He Aratohu Matawhānui mō te Rā Whakamaharatanga ki Aotearoa
Ko te Rā ANZAC tētahi o ngā rā tino whakahirahira, tākare hoki i te maramataka o Aotearoa. He rā tēnei hei tūohu ki te hunga i mahi, i matū hoki i roto i ngā pakanga katoa, i ngā pakanga ā-roto, me ngā mahi pupuri i te rangimārie huri noa i te ao. Ehara i te rā whakanui noa i te wikitoria, engari he rā hohonu mō te whakaaroaro, te aroha, me te pupuri i te mahara ki te hunga kāore i hoki mai ki te kāinga. He wā tēnei e tū kotahi ai te motu, mai i te hiku o te ika ki te upoko o te ika, ki te whakanui i te toa, te manawanui, me te kotahitanga o te hunga i tū mō tō rātou whenua.
Ko te ngako o tēnei rā e pā ana ki te hononga o te tangata ki tōna tātai whakapapa me te hitori o te motu. Neke atu i te 300,000 ngā tāngata o Aotearoa kua mahi i raro i te korowai o te ope taua, ā, tata ki te 30,000 i hinga i te pakanga. Nā reira, he rā tēnei e pā ana ki te whānau, te hapori, me te tūmomo kōrero e hāngai ana ki te tuakiri o te tangata Aotearoa. Ahakoa te tawhiti o te wā mai i te Pakanga Tuatahi o te Ao, kei te kaha tonu te aroha me te whakaute o ngā reanga hou ki ngā tikanga o te Rā ANZAC.
I ēnei rā, kua huri te Rā ANZAC hei tohu mō te whakawhanaungatanga i waenga i a Aotearoa me Ahitereiria (ko te ingoa ANZAC e tū ana mō te Australian and New Zealand Army Corps). He rā e kite ai i te kaupapa o te 'mateship' (te hoa haere), te manaaki, me te tū tahi i roto i te uaua. He wā hoki tēnei e maumahara ai tātou ki te hokinga mai o ngā hoia me te tautoko e hiahiatia ana e rātou i muri i te hokinga mai i te pakanga.
Āhea te Rā ANZAC i te tau 2026?
Ko te Rā ANZAC ka whakatūria i te: Rā o te wiki: Saturday Rā: April 25, 2026 Te roa ki te rā: He 112 ngā rā e toe ana.
He rā pūmau te Rā ANZAC, ko te 25 o Paenga-whāwhā i ia tau. Ahakoa ka tū te rā ki te rā whakatā i te tau 2026, ka whakanuia tonutia i taua rā tonu. I te nuinga o te wā i Aotearoa, ki te taka tētahi rā whakatā tūmatanui ki te rā whakatā (Rāhoroi, Rātapu rānei), ka hūnuku te rā whakatā ki te Mane. Heoi, mō te Rā ANZAC, he rā whakahirahira tēnei e tū ana i te rā tonu o te huritau o te ununga ki Gallipoli.
Te Hitori me te Takenga mai o te Rā ANZAC
He hohonu te take i kōwhiria ai te 25 o Paenga-whāwhā hei rā whakamaharatanga. I tēnei rā i te tau 1915, i unuhia te Ope Taua o Ahitereiria me Aotearoa (ANZAC) ki te kuiti o Gallipoli i Turkey. Ko te whāinga he hopu i te pae tawhiti o Constantinople (ko Istanbul i ēnei rā) kia puta ai te rōpū Allied ki te Moana Pango. Heoi, i kitea he pakanga uaua, he toto hoki i roa ake i te waru marama.
I te mutunga o taua pakanga, neke atu i te 2,700 ngā tāngata o Aotearoa i mate, ā, tata ki te 5,000 i taotū. Ahakoa he hinganga te pakanga i Gallipoli i te taha hoia, i kitea te toa me te pakari o te hunga i reira. Nā tēnei mahi i tipu ai te whakahīhī ā-motu me te whakaaro he iwi motuhake a Aotearoa. I te tau 1916, i whakatūria te rā hei rā whakatā hawhe-rā, ā, nō te tau 1922 ka riro hei rā whakamaharatanga ā-motu mō te hunga i mate i te Pakanga Tuatahi o te Ao. I muri i te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao, ka whānui ake te kaupapa kia uru katoa mai te hunga i mahi i roto i ngā pakanga katoa o te ao.

He mīharo te kite i te mano tini o te tangata e huihui ana i roto i te pōuri me te mātao, e tū puku ana i mua i te cenotaph (te tohu whakamaharatanga). Ngā Hymn me ngā Inoi: Ka waiatatia ngā hīmene tuku iho me te tuku inoi mō te rangimārie. Te Whakatakoto Porowhita Putiputi (Wreath Laying): Ka whakatakotoria e ngā māngai o te iwi, ngā whānau, me ngā whakahaere i ngā porowhita putiputi hei tohu i te aroha. Te Last Post: Ko te tangi o te pūgeta (bugle) e tohu ana i te okiokinga whakamutunga o te hoia. Te Haka: I Aotearoa, he mea motuhake te kaha o te whai wāhi a te Māori. He maha ngā wā ka rongo, ka kite i te haka hei whakaatu i te mana me te uaua o te pakanga, me te whakaute ki te hunga i hinga.Ngā Hīkoi me ngā Parati (Marches and Parades)
I muri i te karakia o te ata, ka tū ngā hīkoi a ngā mātāpuputu (veterans). Ka mau rātou i ō rātou kākahu ope taua, ō rātou tohu (medals), me te peka o te rosemary (he tohu mō te maharatanga). He mea noa hoki te kite i ngā whānau e mau ana i ngā tohu a ō rātou tūpuna i te taha matau o ō rātou uma. He maha ngā parati puta noa i te motu, mai i ngā tāone nui pēnei i Tāmaki Makaurau me Te Whanganui-a-Tara, ki ngā kainga ririki.Te Poppy (Te Putiputi Papi)

Ka mau te tangata i te papi whero ki ō rātou kākahu. He tohu tēnei i ngā putiputi papi i tupu ake i ngā marae pakanga i Flanders i te Pakanga Tuatahi o te Ao. Ko te pūtea e kohia ana ka haere hei tautoko i ngā hoia me ō rātou whānau.Te Gunfire Breakfast
